i was looking into an nvidia k80 before (so thanks for including your comment about needing pascal or greater) but i had a couple of concerns about the power connectors and pcie lanes/speed.

i read that data center gpus need specialized power adapters, and i didn't find good resources to see if it would be able to hook up to a consumer grade power supply or what adapters i would need

i think my tomahawk b450's pcie 3.0 x16 would suffice, but i'm not 100% sure if there would be bandwidth issues when running an nvme ssd alongside it

driver-wise i think i would be fine, i'm not sure if datacenter drivers are typically included in what's provided by linux distros but i'm sure i could make it work if not

and yeah i would definitely grab a cooler and probably undervolt and/or run it at a slightly lower clock speed to be safe
